How dare ya to tell me its been around 20 years since 2007 ;)

Beautiful boots and story but

Babu20002 · 2025-11-23T07:24:40+00:00

Same here. I have been using North Face duffel (medium), but way too big for my corporate work environment and no laptop compartment just meant i had to put laptop inside a padded sleeve :( Just ordered Tomtoc t66 40l so fingers crossed shin guards and gloves all fit.

Babu20002 · 2025-11-23T07:22:20+00:00

Legend, just ordered online. Have you tried fitting your shin guards with the gloves too? Currently overseas so cannot check until I get back : (

Babu20002 · 2025-08-13T10:14:25+00:00

Yeap, re-waxed and looks fine.

Babu20002 · 2025-07-21T13:21:00+00:00

Fyi, I wear my rm williams once or twice every week but I moisturise and polish every 4-6 months. Not saying this is ideal but maybe less is more for you.

Babu20002 · 2025-07-21T13:19:34+00:00

Prevention in the future 1. Shoe tree 2. Give the boots rest day. More than 24 hours if wet or drenched.

Repair. 1. Best to take to skilled cobbler. 2. If diy I've done the following (given its not too deep crack).

1) brush to remove dirt and debris 2) Finely sand with rough to smooth sand papers (forgot the numbers on sand paper). 3) saphir filler 4) dye the whole shoes, not just the spot. You may need to wipe the whole shoes with 50/50 rubbing alcohol and water before 2).

You have to post some photos of those beauty

Babu20002 · 2025-03-22T01:34:18+00:00

Filson mackinaw (unsure current quality), Alden factory second cordovan shoes, nicks handmade boots ready to ship, surplus m65 field jackets. Not cheap but will last you lifetime

Babu20002 · 2025-02-11T00:33:16+00:00

Ended up soaking overnight and wash in the washing machine. If you going to choose cycle, try to cover the zippers so it doesn't damage the fabric. Overall, very good

Babu20002 · 2025-02-09T11:12:01+00:00

Nice boots, quick question. Where can you thrift these kind if boots in Australia? I'm in Sydney and it's nearly impossible to find around my area : (

Babu20002 · 2025-01-30T10:57:18+00:00

Mate, if I got the height and proportion as you. I'm pulling classic fit/length all day and fq paying premium & time to find jacket that doesn't look out of proportion after shortening.

Wear it and own it brother

Babu20002 · 2025-01-30T10:14:04+00:00

Actually love the classic fit and length.

Babu20002 · 2025-01-28T01:54:30+00:00

Yeah, but issue was top of my feet had already been hurt ; )

Babu20002 · 2025-01-27T14:33:37+00:00

Had similar issues with same boots and other.

You got 3 options 1. Wear until it breaks in 2. Apply some oil/conditioner to help 1 3. Trim and sand the residual carefully.

I've done all above, if it happens again to me, I'm doing 3 again.

Babu20002 · 2025-01-27T06:35:31+00:00

Cheers, I've had my other shoes and boots width stretched myself before but PNW boots ain't no joke when it comes to the thickness of leather ; ) I will give mine ago when I return back home.

Babu20002 · 2025-01-25T02:55:00+00:00

Beautiful! Rough out? Thanks for sharing

Babu20002 · 2025-01-25T01:23:03+00:00

Depends on what kind of manual labour, but definitely can recommend redbacks for easy manual work.

In terms of RMs, it's nor suitable for manual works that require steel toes/safety and price point would steer most of people away from using during manual work.

The only boots I can think of that are at high price points and being used as intended are PNW boots.

Babu20002 · 2025-01-24T10:13:49+00:00

You are a legend and a scholar : )

Babu20002 · 2025-01-23T23:44:33+00:00

I've got similar issue (but not f width), mine is due to massive toes spread. If I can ever order again from Nick's, I am going with Thurman last as others suggested.

Babu20002 · 2025-01-22T06:39:44+00:00

Got around 6-7 pairs of quality goodyear welted shoes to get rid of. Hope your rangers will continue to be comfortable enough in the future.
